When human society is destroyed, it is not technology that can rebuild civilization.

I like this movie very much, although many people find it a bit dull.

When I first saw the introduction to the movie, I guessed that the legendary "Book of Avery" was a cheat book, perhaps a book of prehistoric civilization.

But when I really watched this film, I felt that what really caused the destruction of human society should be the degradation of human nature.

I have an extraordinary rationality for morality in life. I have used a long time to separate the concepts of "public morality" and "private morality", and believe that the so-called social morality means not hindering others in life, and personal morality It is to benefit others on this basis.

However, this is not a movie about ethics and morality, but it makes people unable to think about some issues. When the whole society is in a kind of degeneration of human nature, the only way to rebuild society is to rebuild humanity. Therefore, it is not surprising that the so-called "Book of Avery" is the Bible.

The Bible is not a book, but a microcosm of human civilization. Belief is very mysterious, especially for Chinese people. I remember a teacher said that China is a nation without beliefs, so shamelessness can be regarded as commonplace. Once I wanted to refute, but found that I couldn't find a suitable reason.

The destruction of humanity in the movie is through a war. This may be a metaphor. Since war can destroy human nature, does it mean that human nature is fragile? Perhaps, the scene in the movie is really in the near future.

There is always a salvation plot in American movies, where one person can save a group of people or the whole world. In fact, I also believe that human nature is inherently good. If a person knows that he can save the world, then I believe that most people will not go for nothing.

Write it indiscriminately by yourself, just look at it casually.

    Taking photography into account, it is barely possible to give such a straightforward religious propaganda a passing score.
